Developmental model of sensorimotor map acquisition for a humanoid robot
… coordination. This model is trained on the iCub humanoid robot and used for smooth control of reaching. Applications of this model to sensorimotor associative learning are examined. In addition, a derivation of the self-organizing map from neural dynamics is presented. This dissertation is …

Multi-dimensional pre-programmed and learned fine motor control for a humanoid robot
… first part of this study employs a sophisticated iCub humanoid robot and classical control techniques to determine if the robot is capable of performing the necessary fine-motor controlled tasks. The second part of this study goes on to determine if machine reinforcement learning techniques are …

Brain-machine interface coupled cognitive sensory fusion with a Kohonen and reservoir computing scheme
… of embodied cognition. We have also given the iCub child android the instinct to babble the words it has learned. This is a skill that we leveraged for low-level linguistic acquisition in the latter part of this research, the slightly stronger artificial intelligence goal. This research is …

Usage of computer vision and machine learning to solve 3D mazes
… is to “teach” a specialized humanoid robot, the iCub robot, to solve any puzzle, wherein a ball of a given color would be placed at the ‘start’ position of the maze, and the robot would navigate the ball through obstacles and get the ball to the ‘finish’ position. The robot would be able to move …

Neuromorphic auditory computing: towards a digital, event-based implementation of the hearing sense for robotics
… Auditory Sensor was integrated within the iCub robotic platform, being the first time that an event-based cochlea is used in a humanoid robot. Then, the conclusions obtained are presented and new features and improvements are proposed for future works.

A computational model of acoustic packaging
… interaction. Furthermore, tests on the iCub robot showed that semantic information on color terms can be extracted from acoustic packages. These results were supported by further analysis of adult-child interactions, which verified that a substantial amount of semantic information can be …
